Thank you for such a nice introduction to Galois theory..As a math student, it is always better to start with a bird eye's view of what we are going to learn....As compared to directly starting with theorems and lemmas :)

Anyone to help me with a book " algebra by Michael Artin" would really appreciate..

Interestingly, Galois died in a pistol duel.

The instructor did a great job but he needs to learn how to relax. Otherwise, excellent lecture.
